Take 3: sparc64 CDs work?

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 546 bytes --]

Folks,

Thanks to some surprising sleuth work by Boris Gontar we might have a
workaround for the dastardly initrd bug affecting certain sparc64
machines.

So, without further ado:

* http://june.voxel.net/~joshk/d-i/images/2004-06-04/cdrom-mini.iso (4.7M)
* http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/daily/sparc/current/ (whole
  shebang, if you're really confident)

I'm hoping one of these works. If neither do, make sure silo.conf
includes 'rootfstype=ext2'. I could have screwed up.

Hoping to end this bug!

I downloaded the cdrom-mini.iso and the silo.conf looks right. I'll test
it on all my machines today.

Since I'm (still) unable (it times out) to access june.voxel.net (and I 
have misplaced the alternative URL, you sent me a few days ago), I went 
with the whole shebang :)

At least, the netinst image has
append="cdrom devfs=mount rw ramdisk_size92 rootfstype=ext2"
so it look good, I guess

> Hoping to end this bug!

It's not all over yet, sorry :(  
It gets a bit "further" (doesn't complain about the reiserfs stuff), 
however:

[...]
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
 Press L1-A to return to the boot prom


Hardware: Sun Ultra 5 (UltraSPARC-IIi 333MHz (sun4u arch)).

Thanks for all the effort put into this...

Curses!

I'm back to having no idea... Also no idea why it worked for that one
guy. Possibly it is a kernel bug only on some machines? That's even more
insidious. Right now, the situation makes no sense at all, even less
than it did before...

A summary:

* SILO 1.3.2 does not work with more machines than 1.4.5 breaks
* rootfstype=ext2 fixed it for one person, indicating corruption
  of the initrd by the FS checks
* Ben's kernel patch did not help.

so no rhyme or reason wrt fixes.

Today I just gave it a try with root=/dev/hda1 instead of 
root=/dev/rd/0.

This gave me the following output (thank you, minicom...):

Try booting with devfs=nomount.  This issue looks like the kernel is 
mounting devfs, but there's no devfs daemon to make the "normal 
looking" device symlinks.

Looking back through the logs, I see this:

and this:

which means you've got devfs compiled in (and probably being mounted) 
but no indicator that devfsd is starting.

Setting devfs=nomount took me further. Output from minicom below:

*********************************************************************

I'm a bit confused, though, seeing all this SuSE stuff fly by (this is 
what is actually installed on the hard drive right now). Are we seeing 
this, because 'root=/dev/hda1' is all wrong, or because of the 'initrd 
extends beyond end of memory' -> 'disabling initrd' ?

And I really need to apologize to especially Joshua for not showing a 
*complete* boot log before today. This would have exposed the 'initrd 
extends beyond end of memory' ealier (I overlooked it myself, 
obviously). Got a hold of a serial cable today which made reporting 
these huge boot messages so much easier...
